To argue that that which has not been done before cannot be done is to argue
disbelief in the dignity of the human spirit :-)

Are you saying it's unfeasible because of the lack of double floating point
support, or is there some architectural reason? [Cell/SPU has doubles and the
soon-to-be-released G92/9800 have doubles]

(I obviously haven't seen the 3.7 source, but I don't see what would be
unfeasible from the 3.6 source. Please let me know what I've missed!)
